Markus

[TheREALwrk]

As you all remember, I broke the Vander news in 2013, much to Scoop's raucous calls of Bullsnit.

Well, I'm back again and i have news. Bad news for us scoopers:

Markus is gone to the draft.

Whether it's a good idea or bad idea, we've seen the last of Markus in Blue and Gold.

Do with this what you will. M2N

No we haven't. Like I and others have mentioned, Markus will declare, go to the camps. He will be told "ha, no chance" and he will come right back.

Agree.  Just think of Russell Westbrook and Terrence Ferguson guarding Markus coming up the floor.  Double team and he couldn't see past their chests.  That's just OKC Thunder of top of my head. 

[Herman Cain]

Markus declaring will be very beneficial for both parties . If he gets good feedback after the combine then he is off to a potential lucrative pro career. That is a good thing for MU and Wojo can sell that to future recruits.

If it doesn't work out in the combine ,Markus comes back with a list of areas to improve.

Win win proposition for everyone.

Go for it Markus . You have zero down side declaring .

[WarriorDad]

He can hear directly from the NBA scouts what they think.  The right thing to do.

[lawdog77]

Wouldn't be surprised if Sam declares as well

[Uncle Rico]

Good for Markus.  Hope he makes it big.  Lots working against him but he's not changing what he is by spending another year in school

[NickelDimer]

Wouldn't be surprised if Sam declares as well

I would. Don't see him leaving his bro

[BM1090]

I'd expect Markus and Sam to declare. Hell, Joey should too. Get that feedback. Use it to improve your game.

[Nukem2]

Wouldn't be surprised if Sam declares as well

He should to get the feedback, though we all know what it would be.

[GooooMarquette]

Declaring for draft? Well, duh.

Actually leaving? Doubt it.

[TheREALwrk]

I'm talking Agent.

[swoopem]

I've been hearing the same thing tonight as well.

Hopefully not Vander's agent.

Hermie, by lucrative career, do you mean NBA?  The guarantee money is for first round.  Do you believe Markus can make the roster of an NBA team or are you referring to an overseas contract. 

I hope, along with you and others, that he goes to camp and gets advice.

[NickelDimer]

In no way am I saying I want him to leave but I would be intrigued to see how this team would perform without him.

Lucrative career in the Pull-oons business

[CountryRoads]

Probably not the worst decision for him. He was really exposed at the end of the year so best to just leave and prevent further questions about his PG ability.

[We R Final Four]

He should to get the feedback, though we all know what it would be.

Exactly.......I wonder what in the world the scouts could possibly criticize about his game.

I think the first round probability is low, all the mocks show him second. If he doesn't actually get drafted I think he will get signed to a two way contract the way Angel Del Gado did.

The summer league will get him in front of a lot of foreign scouts and if he can't find his way into the league he will eventually end up in a top tier foreign league.

[The Lens]

Markus declaring and hiring an agent would not surprise me at all. 

[Cheeks]

Herman, there are mocks show him not even drafted.

[Oregon Warrior]

Is he able to graduate this spring? If so, he may decide to get his degree and play pro ball regardless of if it's in the NBA.

[4everwarriors]

Eye kan give Markus, Sam, and Joey advise on der games and eye don't work four no NBA, hey?

Can't use Delgado as a example. He is a quality big who can help a team and has played this year, not a 5 11 point guard.  There are no examples of anyone of Markus size and non shooting weakness on a two way.  Wish him well and hope he ends up in that top tier league.  I guess they pay pretty good in that league, right?
